Lyle Moevao Profile

Oregon State quarterback Lyle Moevao is out for the year after injuring his right ankle Tuesday. He will have surgery this Friday to repair the ligament damage.

"It’s almost hard to believe,” coach Mike Riley said. “When it rains it pours. I don’t know what to say about it. He has worked so hard to get almost ready to go.

"I don’t think he’ll be ready to play again this year.”

Moevao has been the backup quarterback the last four games as he rehabbed from shoulder surgery. He took just one snap in 2009.

Riley and Moevao will apply for a sixth year of eligibility, but both think it is a long shot.

With Moevao out of the lineup redshirt freshman Ryan Katz will be the backup quarterback.
